KARACHI: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Saturday said that dictators had always failed to deliver and their rule did not augur well for the country’s future, noting that democracy was sine qua non for the progress and prosperity of the country and its people.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of Pakistan International Bulk Terminal Limited (PIBT), the country’s first coal, clinker and cement terminal at Port Qasim, the premier reposed his confidence that the people of Pakistan would decide the future government, juxtaposing the unprecedented performance of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz with its rival political parties and previous regimes.
The prime minister credited the people of Pakistan for their decision in favour of democratic system and noted that the continuity of the system would also provide panacea to certain issues.
“Under the democratic system, people make their best choices and sent those people packing to homes who had failed to perform according to their expectations,” he said, adding the challenges always emerged but those would be tackled and resolved.
